The Daco is a Bakelight box camera made by Dacora in Germany. The original model dates from 1949, with an f/11 lens; the 1950 Daco II has an f/8 lens
There are controls on the front giving a choice of apertures, f11, f16, f22 (Daci) or f8 & f11 (Daci II), and focus ranges of 1.5-4m and 4m-∞. The camera uses 120 Film taking twelve 6x6cm images per roll• I use this camera for the fun of it and it’s unique view of the world.

I have a self assigned Studio Project in the works • Based on Straight up character Portraits of friends and their Pets … more to follow.
I like shooting studio still life- theme concepts- Junk shots if you will …
PHOTO TIP : Try taking something that you have quite a few of and build a shot out of that concept- try a little natural selective focus by using a longer focal length lens with a shallow depth of field.
Photographing food is somewhat like shooting products – but- different , It taste a lot better •It takes good textural light & teamwork • Images shot for East City Grill in Weston, Florida and YES we got to sample the goods – We made sure we got the shot the first time around so the extra dishes went to good use ! – Yummy !!
